Wendlebury Road works towards Bicester Avenue – from 6 February to 5 March

The Parish Council has been informed that the company Reach Active will be returning to carry out works on the Wendlebury Road on Thursday 6 February for up to 4 weeks (until 5 March) to deliver power and water for the new Holiday Inn Hotel.

A southbound closure of the Wendlebury Road between Bicester Avenue and Charles Shouler Way is planned together with a no left turn at the Charles Shouler Way junction to the Vendee Drive roundabout for northbound traffic.  The same local diversion route as last September will be in place.

To get to Bicester, villagers will need to drive all the way down the Wendlebury Road to Bicester Avenue, exit onto the A41 southbound, drive up to the Vendee Drive roundabout and double back on the northbound carriageway.

The easiest way of getting into the village will be via the southbound A41 junction nearest the village which the majority of people currently use.

We have been assured that every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum during these works.

A Winter Health Message for Residents from the NHS

Have you got a winter plan to stay well?

A winter plan can help keep you well and healthy this winter – this could include:

  • Having a free NHS flu vaccination if you are eligible
    •        Getting help early before your cough or cold worsens
    •        Getting repeat prescriptions in plenty of time before bank holidays
    •        Finding out where your local minor injuries unit is located
    •        Seeking advice from your local pharmacist
  • Keeping an eye on elderly or frail friends, neighbours and relatives

Watch a short film which explains how your high street pharmacist can help keep you well this winter:

What3Words

what3words has labelled every 3m x 3m square in the world with an address made of three random words from the dictionary.  For example, the 3 word address of Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square is ///this.fantastic.notes

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is now using what3words. This means if you need to contact the Fire Service and are having trouble describing where you are, you can use the app to tell them your exact location.

All you need to do is download the free what3words app.  You’ll be able to see and share the 3 word address of your current location and also find out the 3 word address of your home (by typing in your address and selecting the square containing your front door).
If you’re renting your property on Airbnb or any other accommodation sites, you can also use it to make sure guests don’t get lost by just sending them the 3 word address of the front door/property entrance (especially if your postcode goes to the wrong place!).
